I started working on #ARCRaiders nearly 7 years ago when it was just a bunch of wild ideas in documentation and concept art sketches.
It's cool to see how many of the original ideas made it in - this launch trailer really captures how fun and epic the game turned out to be:

It was very cool to meet and chat with Danny and his lil' team for this. Looking forward to see how it ends up!
Arc Raiders releases this month so it's probably time I spilled the beans!
Our team @secrettape.bsky.social has been working on a 3 part series on the game's challenging development for over a year.
Embark has been incredibly transparent and let us tell the story as we saw it. I'm very proud of it
